Following extensive renovations by Sutter Health, the Mickelson Arthritis and Rehabilitation Pool located at 75 El Camino Real in San Mateo is open again!
Maintained at around 92 degrees, this is the only ADA accessible, warm water therapy pool in San Mateo County and is available to seniors and disabled adults and children with a physician or provider letter. The Mickelson pool is a unique facility designed specifically for therapeutic exercise. It is wheelchair accessible with a ramp descending into the water.
Its healing, warm water provides an invaluable resource for chronic pain management, post-surgery rehabilitation, and more. Aquatic therapy and exercise offer many benefits including buoyancy, increased range of motion, reduced stiffness and pain, and reduced stress on joints. In addition, it creates an overall sense of well-being.
Check with your doctor to see if this would benefit you. For more information, call (650) 696-4319, or go to https://www.sutterhealth.org/find-location/facility/mack-e-mickelson-arthritis-rehabilitation-pool.
